Sanur to Nusa Penida Destination Reviews

Booked with 12go Asia, arrived 30 mins before departure, they said "the boat already left" and tried up selling a later boat. We went to the harbor instead and asked if we can enter the exact boat that "had left already", which we could for a "fee" of 350kIDR. The boat was half full, so this is clearly a double scam. Wouldn't recommend. On the way back we went with Angkal who had a very nice and clean boat with working fans for half the price, sooooo much nicer. Don't give scammers a chance!

Organisation from the office to the boat with a company guide was excellent. Shame we had to wait for other boats to board and we were called last so the delay was about 20 minutes

The boat left slightly late (15 mins) and the boarding process had a lot of steps that seemed unnecessary and would have made it confusing if we had gone during a busier time. There was a fan over our seat but it didn't work. The ride was pretty smooth though and it got decent enough airflow for the short ride.

I can’t complain about the company or the service, but the escalators at the harbour were out of service which made it hard to board the boat if you have suitcases

The buying and admin process were great. Also the welcome at the Harbour. They changed us to an earlier departure. So far so good. But the boat from AXEstone was a very old one. No air condition! The van didn’t work. The boat was very dirty and very rusty. Not trustful. Better we had used the El Ray. Departure too late.

Our overall experience was pretty good. I would definitely recommend and re use them. The only downfall was the staff at check-in seemed disinterested in their jobs and their customers. Not really a big deal to us but it might be for other travelers.

Do expect delays or trip cancellations if the weather is stormy or your travel falls on off-season or shoulder season.

Travelling by ferry essentials

  • We do recommend buying your ferry tickets in advance, especially if your route is served by smaller vessels that offer a limited number of daily departures. To book in advance is of primary importance not only during the high season but off-season, too. Sometimes it is ok to show up at the pier and hop on the next ferry but remember that this is not possible for any destination, and you may end up waiting for hours for the next departure and to have to change your travel plans.
  • Shipping is highly dependent on weather conditions. It mostly refers to the open sea routes, e.g. between the destinations in the open sea and the coast as well as between the islands scattered in the sea. If the waves are high, even the islands which sit closest to the shore are often cut off from the continent – all vessels may be ordered to remain in the harbor. So do keep in mind that during stormy weather, delays and cancellations may occur. Strong winds and heavy rains may interfere with your sea journey, too. So take it into consideration while making your travel plans.
  • Very often, a more expensive fare means less time spent on board, though the difference in price also may be due to the different cabin classes. Always check how long your trip lasts – it may be worth paying extra to cut your travel time to an hour instead of three, right? Travel time can be crucial if you are prone to seasickness, so choosing the cheapest ferry ticket is not always a good idea.
  • Speedboats bring you to the destination in the shortest time possible, while fast catamarans are also a decent choice, often taking only slightly more time. On some routes, slower and sometimes overnight ships are available, proving a prudent option if you are ready to spend a night on board. It actually allows you to save some bucks in your pocket that you would have otherwise spent on a hotel room. Yet again – longer ferry trips are not for everyone.
  • If you are prone to seasickness, take medicine half an hour before you board your ferry, not when you have already started feeling nausea – this way it will not help. Opt for staying on the open deck with a fresh breeze blowing into your face wherever possible. On vessels with several decks, the lower one normally feels more stable, while the upper one often is more of a rock-n-roll type.
  • A rule of thumb, choose bigger and more stable car ferries or high-speed boats if you suffer from rough seas. The former feels very steady even when stormy, and the latter is fast. Avoid catamaran-like ferries as they ride the wave rather than cut through it – which means constant ups and downs, ups and downs, OMG. If you happen to choose a catamaran, do follow our recommendation above.
  • Ferry is often not the only way to travel between certain destinations. It is obviously more scenic but usually pricier and may take much longer than if opting for a flight or a bus ride. Before you go, check if your island destination is connected to the mainland with a bridge – many islands which are located close to the shore, in fact, are.
  • Always put on your life jacket. Regulations around the world differ greatly and, in some countries, are more relaxed than in others. Anyway, almost everywhere, passengers are supposed to wear their life vests. If you are not provided with one, do not hesitate to ask where they are located.
  • Note that piers at some destinations collect a special ‘pier fee’ from all arriving passengers. As a rule, this fee is not included in your ticket price and should be paid on arrival.
  • Reading other travellers’ reviews is the best way to get an idea of what to expect from your ferry trip. Do check their experience to get the most out of your sea journey.
